Well, its official. After a weeks of constant surveliance, the Nest thermostats have uncovered my wife regularly cozying up to the oil furnace when I'm at work. I always leave a good fire when I leave, all she needs to do is keep feeding it. I even have biobricks within arms reach.

I think I'm going to have her physically write out the next check for the oil delivery.

Another data mining device designed to slowly undermine our individual freedom under the marketing guise of energy conservation.

Made by the NSA, Google, or the IRS?;)
 
So it is basically a thermostat with "Tracking"?

Important decision you have to make. What is cheaper, extra oil the wife uses or divorce? Maybe get a cover for the Nest and only one key. Maybe let the oil tank run out - accidentally.
My own opinion - if you can afford a Nest, you can afford oil.

Nest has a lock feature.....just sayin'
 
My buddy used to work for a HVAC company... they did a lot of big commercial jobs... at one job they had someone who constantly complained their office was too hot, too cold, too hot, too cold... so they installed a thermostat on their wall, except it wasn't actually hooked up to anything. The person never complained again, just turned it up or down and felt better.

Where has the trust gone... can you overcome this infidelity? Seek counselling help.... ;)
 
Best part about a Nest is that you can turn it down remotely from work. That might get your point across....

I am ditching my nest for an ecobee this week. I got sick of the thing not working right, and costing me extra energy (doesn't run heat pumps right).
 
Doh, I figured out you need to be logged on to make changes. Works now.
 
Some women lose all interest in wood after handling it for many years.....it's just nature
